At the end of the video: 1. I still don't know what minimalism means 2. Natalie is way too beautiful 3. Matt's biceps should be forbidden.....could we exchange arms? XD Anyways, as someone who stumbled upon your youtube channel a few minutes ago, I love it already. In the matter of a few minutes, I've managed to watch a couple of videos and they have inspired me like no other. Thank you!

[@deanna6742]

Minimalism is based on principles about keeping what makes your happy - like your fav items- and discarding the rest. It's about owning less and only essentials for several reasons, such as travelling a lot or just wanting to downsize. Hope that helps 😊

[@AryanKumar-jo1pz]

How come we both have the same thing happening to us except for the last part

[@ArizonaWillful]

I assumed because of his biceps that Matt was gay, since gay guys put a lot of effort into looking buff and muscular. I was surprised to find out he was straight!

[@gabardjean-paul3779]

A woman is NEVER too beautiful. I find her very charming anyway !

[@Luckywynne]

"Live by example" is the principle I like to follow as well. :)

[@kinoinakimova]

I know a guy, who once accidentally became a minimalist. He left a country with one pair of jeans, two shirts, and one jacket. He never came back to that country, and loved the fact that he can care all his stuff in a small backpack. Later he met a girl, who loved to collect heavy things, like books, retro cameras, and rocks. Though she liked taking minimalist photos, she couldn't imagine her life without tones of clothes. The guy was patient, but he would never ever participate in packing their luggage. They traveled a lot. Finally she got tired of packing and discovered slow fashion movement with capsule wardrobe. Now she has less than 30 items of clothing for all types of weather (NYC) including shoes, accessories, bags, and hats. And the guy and girl are nowadays a husband and wife, whose both lives are fit into two suitcases. Being that girl, I think that the real change comes from education. I would recommend your lovely girlfriend watching another great documentary "The True Cost", which isn't as beautiful and neat as your film, but very helpful to stop buying cheap low-quality garments and cluttering your closet. Wish you both lots of patience, growth, and love! Cheers!

[@derKischda]

Jesus Marie! Those are not rocks those are minerals!

[@MrsLadyPerez]

What a beautiful love story

[@Cristina-vb8dl]

True cost is one of those documentaries that should be played in schools to educate boys and specially girls, about the journey of their cheap clothes, that they start buying since their youth to cover their insecurities. It's positive either for their pockets and of the modern slaves that are making them, and for the environment.

[@the_propelist7651]

I’m fairly sure she would know why he is a minimalist. He shouldn’t be trying to change her just as she shouldn’t be trying to change him. If they’re happy, that’s what matters.

[@alexise.2270]

What a cute couple! You play off each other so well. I think everyone has a "thing" which is hardest to minimize or maybe shouldn't even be minimized (clothes, camera equipment, handbags!). By focusing on minimalism in all other areas it ends up working. I love your thoughtful choice of couch and really enjoyed hearing this. My husband is NOT a minimalist and I'm really focused on it, but we work forward.

[@laurabartha606]

I think you greatly summed up the topic of "how to live with your partner who is a different person with different habits" whether it is minimalism or anything else. I like your balance guys. Nice :)

[@flyfantasy6565]

I love how they found balance. Although there are dissimilarities, they have one the most essential common thing - mutual respect. Totally in love with these two❤️

[@daluciana]

Only when I stoped talking and "fighting against" and started make my routine just one more topic to share with my boyfriend, he feelt truly inspired and start making so many transformations in his life. "Live by example" is more powerful than anything. Thanks Matt for such a great work in your channel :D

[@mandie1456]

True - when I first started trying to become more minimalist I went through my husband's stuff and asked him to get rid of a bunch... Lol doesn't work. Once I stuck with my own stuff and a few main room things like kitchen and bathroom the other day he started taking things out of his closet and asking me if I thought he should keep them. The point is to say don't try and force someone else to be minimalist and they might come round to it on their own when they see the changes in your own life.

[@jleung85]

Thanks Matt. You’re a great guy. My wife is definitely a non-minimalist and it drives me up a wall. We got stuff everywhere. I need to learn to be more loving and accepting like you.

[@alinamakgeolina]

I love your movie Minimalism. It was such an eye opener. I have tried to become a minimalist following Marie Kondo's method, it has helped a lot. However, realising that we are blindly buying so many useless things, now really helps me not to buy anymore and really it has changed my perspective on things that I own. I really want to live this simple life and I think I am going to enjoy it. Thank you!

[@alexarory]

Alina Makgeolina! I just realized Matt produced that movie!

[@StephanieStoven]

Loved this!! Giving people respect by putting your phone away when spending time with each other is SO important!!

[@BreannaPHopkins]

Lol the beginning of the video is sooo funny & interesting! I’ve wanted to be a minimalist for 2 years now and I’ve been taking really small baby steps but after finding you & binge watching your videos, I realize it’s definitely time to put one foot in front of the other and MINIMIZE MY LIFE. Thank you Matt for these awesome videos!! 😊

[@kuanlingwu3974]

Hi it’s 2020. A year of crisis. And I as a minimalist, just got a breakup with a non-minimalist partner. I am feeling quite empty, just like my space. We sorta breakup for that reason, the conflict between minimalist and non-minimalist. Idk if it’s too late for me to watch this video now. But now I am learning.

[@meerkatnip892]

Through minimalism I have also partly gotten into zero waste and capsule wardrobing and generally more eco-friendly living and it's so hard for me now to suddenly "see behind the curtain" of purchasing. Every time I hear what people buy and then throw away and buy and throw away and hoard and buy I can feel my toe nails roll up and I just want to change their attitudes and lifestyles NOW and just bring the huge minimalism hammer and beat it into them. I do realise it will never work that way but I just wish I could still stay calm even when I know people are mindlessly damaging the environment. It's so hard D: If someone's not a minimalist - fine. But buying cheap and buying twice or thrice just kills me.

[@jocookham4810]

You are treating it like a Dogma be careful of that. Its also very arrogant to think you are correct and others are wrong it says more about you than it does about them. Without the advances made recently you would not be typing on a computer you would not have a computer or a phone or running water.......list goes on. I learnt all this the hard way but listening to the minimalist podcast helped. We are all just on a journey and we don't even know what reality is so cut everyone and yourself some slack.

[@lelexoxo303]

@@jocookham4810 Well, if everyone were consuming like the USA does, we'd need something like 4.5 earths to get all the resources, so the op does have a point. It bugs me as well to see people mindlessly consume without a care for the planet or just other people's wellbeing.

[@Suisyo]

Video starts out sharing how a minimalist and non-minimalist co-exist; then it turns into a beautiful lesson and example of how mutual respect in a relationship, as well as thoughtful compromises for the one you care about can make living together much easier, even for people who would otherwise seem like water and oil. Wonderful, thank you both for sharing ^-^

[@ChristianNoelFilm]

Can you talk about your opinion on being a minimalist filmmaker, how you store your gear, how to do more with less etc...

[@bsarioz]

I think the greatest points were that you talk to each other before any major purchases, you don't force each other and you learn from each other.

[@TTreads]

Matt can you film your minimalist workout next?

[@TTreads]

Thomas, lets assume Matt doesn't spend money on a gym membership, but does simple at home workout routines.

[@DanielHarrisCodes]

I'd guess gym too - I don't even think being minimalist means having to avoid things like a gym membership. In a way, going the gym for your workouts is more minimalist than owning a ton of equipment, even a set of dumbells and a bench takes up space and is something else to maintain and own.

[@natebaird]

never miss arm day

[@Zichqec]

@@TTreads Actually he's mentioned that he does go to the gym. Minimalism is about reducing the amount of excess stuff you have in your life and being mindful about the things you have, so that all your items bring value to your life and improve it, instead of just wasting space and getting in the way. A gym membership means no extra clutter in the home, all your workout stuff is at another location. If you're subscribing to lots and lots of various memberships, sure, that's something you'd probably want to cut down on if you're trying to be a minimalist because it's sort of another form of clutter. But I doubt that's the case here.

[@crabbostabbo278]

The idea of a minimalist workout is quite complex, and hard to explain, it's preatty usefull tho, also, u can achive that body by doing calisthenics (Pull Ups, push ups and they're variations) but, a minimal workout its not one with fewer equipment, or less moves, rather the focus of each move like, instead of a tricep and chest excercise a barbell bench press, and stuff like a push pull legs idea, i dont know if i made myself clear D:

I've been watching your videos as YT suggests them to me recently, so I just found out in the last one that you made the Minimalism documentary. My hubs and I watched that on New Year's Day 2017, and we immediately started downsizing. Being more mindful of our belongings has become a major part of who we are, and I'm so grateful for the catalyst, which was your video. Thank you!

[@quynhdao5484]

this is very fun and helpful Matt. I live with my boyfriend who's not a minimalist too and I agree with you all. Great work!!!!

[@TinaJackson]

Letting how you live speak for you in all situations is incredibly important. I loved this video because I am one that focuses more on what someone does rather than what they say. I don't think all people try to be dishonest or hypocritical, I think we all are both of these things at some points in our lives. It is just to what degree and how often. That's just my opinion because let's face it, no one is perfect and there are very few of us who are nearly perfect. So, I have found that watching what others "do" rather than what they "say" gives you a clearer picture of who they really are and their motivations. -- that went somewhere weird -- After spewing all that "not really related" stuff...I guess I am trying to say that, it seems pretty obvious that you two have deep, mutual respect and care for each other and I can see how it has been maybe a little easier for the two of you to get along than maybe some other minimalists and non-minimalists.

[@kawaiistarfish1115]

I love this! I’m a minimalist and my husband is nooooot. But when we started living together I offered the idea of helping him go through his things and we did a Kon Marie where I asked if this is what he liked or if it fit or if he even looked at it. He did decluttering a lot. But we kept a huge box of things he never really looks at but he wants to keep for now and I’m okay with that he use to have 4! And he does have more clothes than I do but they are organized and look nice even if he doesn’t use them now. We established better organizing because I’m minimalist because of ODC if I can’t see it then it’s not a problem! Lol

[@inugaant8421]

If I just could get my husband to have his clothes into his drawers and closet, that would be a big success!!

[@111-e7n2k]

Just put them out with the rubbish and say you do not know where they went after you last saw them. True - because when you take them to Goodwill or recycle them it is actually the last time you saw his clothes.

[@zeeq7331]

Finally got around to watch this video as I am living with people who are non-minimalists. One point to take away from this is that to not change the people around you but instead participate in their non-minimalist behaviours. And they'll participate in yours eventually.
